Humayun, no,well.... not really. The longest people use are around the 105-135mm mark. You don't go picking off sheep in the far paddock with a Leica.
I'm currently looking at a 75mm f/1.8 at the moment, which is about as long as I want to go. It will do for half-body portraiture at close distance.
Having said that, I've tried my 300mm Nikkor on my M8 and it works fine. Focus is guesswork because there is no coupling to the rangefinder frame line mechanism - but it works. I've even mounted it up to my Tak 90 for laugh.
